Abby Furlowe has plans. Big plans. She's hot, she's popular, she's a cheerleader and she's going to break out of her small Texas town and make it big. Fame and fortune, adoration and accolades. It'll all be hers.
But then she notices some spots on her skin. She writes them off as a rash, but things only get worse. She's tired all the time, her hands and feet are numb and her face starts to look like day-old pizza. By the time her seventeenth birthday rolls around, she's tried every cream and medication the doctors have thrown at her, but nothing works. When she falls doing a routine cheerleading stunt and slips into a coma, her mystery illness goes into overdrive and finally gets diagnosed: Hansen's Disease, aka leprosy. Abby is sent to a facility to recover and deal with this new reality. Her many misdiagnoses mean that some permanent damage has been done, and all of her plans suddenly come tumbling down. If she can't even wear high heels anymore, what is the point of living? Cheerleading is out the window, and she might not even make it to prom. PROM!But it's during this recovery that Abby has to learn to live with something even more difficult than Hansen's Disease. She's becoming aware of who she really was before and what her behavior was doing to others; now she's on the other side of the fence looking in, and she doesn't like what she sees. . .

ReplyDeletesedang memuncak namun suami anda tidak dapat melayani hubungan badan untuk menyalurkan kepuasan seksual anda, untuk itu anda perlu sekali mencari beberapa cara untuk
membantu memulihkan stamina suami anda seperti sedia kala dapat anda konsumsi dengan beberapa ramuan bahan herbal yang aman tanpa efek samping namun cara tersebut
sudah mulai kalah dengan zaman moderen serba menggunakan ramuan untuk menciptakan sesuatu yang baru dan lebih praktis untuk anda konsumsi seperti mengkonsumsi
obat kuat viagra untuk mendapatkan produk tersebut sangatlah mudah dengan melalui
pembelian secara online atau melalui toko konvensional yang menjual obat-obatan lengkap seperti yang sudah ada ditoko-toko terpercaya seperti dibeberapa kota besar,
jual obat kuat di cikarang selatan ,
jual obat kuat di semarang selatan dan
toko obat kuat di bandung kulon selain itu ada juga merek baru yang banyak
dijual disekitar daerah karawang yaitu jual permen soloco di karawang barat

jenis tablet yang sudah mumpuni lebih dulu dibandingkan obat jenis permen tersebut yang berbahan tadalafil seperti
cialis 20 mg ,tak lengkap rasanya bagi pria setelah memperbaiki ereksi juga perlu
memperhatikan kepuasan lainnya seperti alat kelamin anda yang mulai mengecil karena faktor usia untuk itu anda bisa melakukan terapi dengan
obat pembesar penis yang sangat aman dan herbal seperti
klg yang merupakan produk usa sangat aman tanpa efek samping dengan hasil permanen.
